Frankenstein has nothing on me! At the risk of sounding morbid and gross…but
it is Halloween week after all! I have
got me some scars….9 kidney surgeries, 2 C-sections, 1 thyroid, a several skin
cancers and now open heart. That last
one left me several fresh new ones and another surgery being scheduled soon. But
then I suspect in today's world and at my age, who doesn’t? Quite frankly for me, they are embarrassing and
a constant reminder of how fragile my body and this life can be….and that is when the fear begins to slip in. I forget to remember how strong I have been,
how many unsurmountable (and a few weenie) health issues I have overcome, and I
slip into the ugly downward spiral of “what if’s”. What if it happens again, what if they did not
get it all, what if it did not work, what if….what if….what if… I need to remember that those ugly scars
are nothing but symbols I carry. They
have made me who I am….Strong!
